No, not just wheels bearings. It's a matter of increased wear on other parts too, as well as negative effects on handling and daily driving characteristics. Offset is crucial to suspension design, as it affects what the entire thing is designed around.

I mean it is not like I went to a +0 offset. I went to an offset that would help on clearing the coilovers since it is a 9" wheel. I have had no negative issues yet and it has seen Barbers and Road Atlanta a couple of times since this setup was put on and it made huge improvements over the old setup.

I have an 03 WRX wagon and was wondering what width and offset the stock wheels are? Also does anyone know what the max offset I can run is, without fender mods on a 7"wide wheel? I'm not looking for "hellaflush" just "close to flush" is good

i know its easy getting the wheel onto the car just some bolts, but what about getting the tire onto the wheel? can i do that myself as well? and how much does it cost to have my wheels changed at a body shop?

yeah i don't think i want to have to roll the fenders, so i'll just stick with the 18x8.5. with the tires you mentioned, do you think there'd be any rubbing? from the list on the rota site (http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5868) which is a good tire for daily driving?? i'm sorry for the questions, i'm a little new to this
